I was waiting for a delivery and it didn't come. I called FedEx and they said they had retained it because it was fraudulent. Yet they posted in their web site that, in fact, the package had been delivered to me.

I shipped a package via FedEx using a third party shipping company. The package was delivered to Decatur, GA when it should have gone to Webberville, MI. I filed a claim online and they said that the third party shipping company had to file the claim. I went to the company. They verified the address that the package was supposed to be going to, so there was no mistake on their part. It was a carbon copy in my handwriting. FedEx was adamant about the package being shipped to the correct address. I don't know who has over $200 to ship a package to a wrong address. I told them that I wanted to see a copy of the airbill with the address for the item I shipped. They said it would take 45 days for me to receive it. I don't care. I want it. Their incompetence has lost me as a customer and I will tell anyone else not to ship anything via FedEx because they are not reliable.

The damage caused to my son’s walking stick was beyond devastating. The project began over 12 years ago (a little work done here and there over the years). I felt a sense of urgency to complete the project since my son, Casey, was heading back to Afghanistan. I spent many hours over the past several months putting the finishing touches on the walking stick. The stick is a piece of select diamond willow from the Yukon River Valley. Many hours were spent hand carving the diamonds and lettering. Eight coats of Sparathane (sanding between each coat) were applied to the stick. An inert .50 cal shell for the foot was supplied by a local coastguardsman who was more than thrilled when he heard about the project. A hand-carved aggressive grizzly bear was custom made especially for this project, and it was affixed to the top of the stick. 240 inches of Alaska moose hide leather (tanned by Alaska natives) was weaved (in paracord lanyard fashion) to provide a tasseled lanyard of over three feet. The walking stick was carefully packed in an undamaged heavy-duty cylindrical shipping tube. FedEx provided the damage and the devastation.
The tube was crushed and so were the contents. The walking stick is irreplaceable. The item’s value was priceless, but if a price had to be put on it, I would estimate around $5,000. I just received a check from FedEx for $100. They seem to think that their liability is not beyond the $100 since the shipment had no declared value. I would really like to get Mr. Fred Smith's mailing address so that I could send him the short description of the item and attach pictures of before and after FedEx handling. I'd also like to send him back his insulting check.

It seems to me that every driver of this company should have a navigation system. I have been tracking my package down since last Thursday, and it keeps going back to the Beltsville FedEx location (it's Tuesday, 6 days later). Every day I call and give them my address, and they keep saying "We are sorry for this inconvenience, but apparently we don’t have your unit number", and every day I give it to them followed by my address. I told them to ship it to UPS because I have no problems with them (this is my first time using FedEx). I will probably have to drive over an hour away to Beltsville and get my package myself since the drivers are getting paid to do nothing. I am very disappointed with this service and will stick with UPS for as long as I live.

I have a senior citizen at home who is able to receive packages when they are delivered. UPS and DHL, no problem. But FedEx can't seem to get it right. A few months ago, I had a delivery. The first attempt failed. The senior citizen said that she never heard the doorbell. I signed for them to leave the package, but got more failed attempts and had to take off work to pick up my package. Today was incredibly frustrating. Yesterday, FedEx posted a note for delivery failure. But the senior at home heard the driver! She hustled down the stairs and by the time she got to the door, the truck was gone! Now I say senior, but this woman walks 5 miles a day, so it's not terribly difficult to get to the door.
Today, I stayed home. I went into the garage; door open to hear the bell or a knock. 8 minutes later, I came back (and I mean 8 minutes) and there's another sticker - no delivery. No, I don't want them to leave an expensive item at the doorstep. I called the 800 GoFedEx and they are useless. I say, "Hey, the sticker is from 6 minutes ago. If you contact the driver, he can redeliver today." They can't contact drivers. How insane is that? There's no way to contact an employee? Well I did a little research and found that these drivers are independent contractors. They work like dogs and FedEx gets richer.
I have no idea if I'll get my package because I can't seem to get to the door in the 2.7 seconds the driver waits to see if we're home. I now have a standard note to contact any business online that I want to order from and ask if they use FedEx ground. If they can't switch to a different delivery firm for my package, then I'll have to do business elsewhere.

I ordered a computer from Dell. Through tracking number, I know the package would be delivered on Sat. I had been waiting for a whole morning and left the door of my room open in order to hear the doorbell. Around 2 pm, I checked the website, found out the delivery today is marked as unsuccessful attempt. I called the FedEx 800 number immediately and the representative contacted the driver. The driver said that he indeed saw cars on driveway. He knocked on the door (why didn't he use the doorbell?), nobody answered, so he assumed nobody was at home and left. I asked why he didn't use the doorbell. It is a house and nobody is able to hear his knock. The representative told me that the driver would try to deliver the package from 4pm to 8pm in the evening. Of course, it never happened.
I called the 800 number again in the evening and this time, a supervisor answered my call. He talked like a machine gun in a very fast speed, doesn't give you time or opportunity to talk. I had to ask him to stop talking several times so I can explain my case. He told me that I have to wait at home on next Tuesday for the package, the time for delivery. He doesn't know. Do I have a full time job as he does? Or leave a note to ask the driver to left the package there. I told him it is a $1,000 computer. It is unsafe to do it that way because FedEx claim they are not responsible for the loss of the package in such situation. Basically, his attitude is "this is company policy, like it or not."

I ordered an iPod from Apple. I did not check and waived signature. My mistake. FedEx tried to deliver at 9am. I was at work and called FedEx at about 3 to request an afternoon delivery. They said they would deliver after 4:30. I got home the next day and there was a knock on my door, delivery attempted at 9:20. I called the second time and the person said she would look into it and call me back. She never did. After an hour, I called again. This person said (here’s the second lie) that they could not deliver it in the afternoon because Apple had paid to have it delivered before 10:30 in the morning. She also said I could pick it up. I asked where the place was but it was too far from my house.
So the next day, I stayed home in the morning for my before 10:30 delivery. (The phone rang. I picked it up after two rings and the person hung up). I hit call back and it was FedEx. I guess they were calling to see if I was there. I went through several people and it turns out, the woman yesterday who lied about the 10:30 pick up also had the iPod pulled from the truck, I assume spitefully. Finally, I got a manager who had the grace to be embarrassed by the terrible performance but could only offer to have it put on a truck for the afternoon. I do not believe her because they have lied straight ahead. I'm now waiting to see if it ever shows up.

The first incident was when my husband was deployed. I am a military wife (fyi). I had just delivered my son; he was three days old. I got home just in time for a glider that I bought to be delivered by FedEx. The day it was supposed to come, they never delivered it. I called and they said they had the wrong address and couldn't change it. I would have to call who I bought it from to change the address. I called the company I bought the glider from and they said they gave FedEx the right address to begin with and gave FedEx a call anyway, who claimed to have now fixed the situation. Needless to say, within the next few days, there was still no glider. I had to go down to the FedEx store with my newborn, still recovering from childbirth, to pick up the gilder by myself and bring it home!
The second incident: I live in a duplex that was remodeled into a one-family home so one side of our house has a gate that leads to the back yard and basement. The other side is our garage. There is no front door to the house at all. On the side with our 12-foot Iron gate there are numerous signs saying "Do Not Deliver anything to this side of the house; instead, please go to the garage because we do not use this side of the house." We have our mailbox, and a doorbell next to the garage as well as a little place to put deliveries.
Today I got a delivery from FedEx on the garage side with no problem. Later this evening, we had strong winds and my husband went to check something on the basement side of the house. There was a box that was sun-washed that had been thrown over the 12-foot gate. He brought it into the house and when we opened it, it was the Gourmet cheese I had ordered! Needless to say, the cheese is bad now. I called FedEx and complained, only to learn it had been delivered 4 days before. I use the term delivered lightly, I should say thrown over our 12-foot wall/cast iron gate! The cheese came in glass jars with oil in it. None of the glass had broken, thank goodness, but why would a FedEx person throw something over a 12-foot cast iron gate with a sign in front of him saying to deliver to another side of the house?

I sent a package on Tuesday and it was supposed to be delivered by noon Wednesday. FedEx attempted delivery on Wednesday and Thursday, and then finally my recipient picked up the package in person on Friday. At the location, they found out that the driver had been going to the wrong building. The cost was $55. Since I have an account with FedEx, I get the option of disputing online. I did and they rejected it saying it was a weather related problem on Friday. Unfortunately, there is a 20-character limit to explain your reasons for requesting a refund, so I couldn't explain what happened.
Next, I submitted another written request on their Contact Us page. Five days later, I got a response and again they denied it citing weather-related problems. It seemed like they didn't even read my message thoroughly. Finally, I called the number they provided in their reply. When I explained my case, the representative I talked to told me that she couldn't provide a refund, because I had already been denied twice. She said the only thing she could do is write the charge down to a lower cost category. I told her that it was their mistake and I want a full refund. She said she couldn't do it, so I requested to speak with her supervisor.
The supervisor, Johnny **, was even less helpful. He first said it was a weather problem and that's why it was delayed. I pointed out that it wasn't just delayed; it was never delivered. I explained to him that the driver had gone to the wrong building. He insisted that the driver had gone to the correct building, but that the recipient was not there. So it just came down to my word against his and he flat out denied my request for a refund. I asked to speak with his supervisor and he said the only thing I could do is write to 3965 Airways Blvd., Module G, Memphis, TN 38116.
These are some things I have issues with. First, it's not clearly stated on their dispute page that if the request is denied twice, then they can't do anything about it. Second, I provided a contact phone number in case there were problems with the delivery. How come this number wasn't used? Third, sometimes they blame the weather; sometimes they say the recipient wasn't there. These are just excuses to me. Finally, the fact that it has now come down to their words against mine. Why would I send something overnight to the wrong address? Why would my recipient lie about what happened? They are the ones who needed the package in the first place. I am so frustrated with FedEx. I won't be using them ever again. I'll try DHL or UPS from now on.

Two boxes were shipped from New York to Carrollton, Texas to a resident. One box contained a monitor, mouse and keyboard. The other box contained hard drive, (tower) connection cords. I unwrapped the computer parts from the boxes and started to connect the parts. I soon found out that the stall the monitor was on was broken off. The mouse was cracked and the mat was torn. The computer did not work. Federal Express delivered the things to me on March 26, 2009. It is now April 7, 2009. There is no conclusion to the claim I made right away. Only insinuation was that the site it was shipped from did not package it properly. This computer was purchased by me from Dell and it was in good condition. The cost was $836. The boxes looked worn out. I believe it was tossed on trucks. This was a ground shipment which cost about $116.06 that included boxes, plastic bubbles and peanuts.

I shipped a package with a $5,000 ring to Paris, France. After I shipped it, I got an email from eBay saying that the buyer of the item used the account without permission and the ring had been relisted. When I told them that it was already shipped, they said to contact shipper right away and have the delivery stopped. So I called FedEx and was told that the package was still there and was not due to be delivered till Monday because it was a weekend. I was told that it would be returned to me. And then I was put through to International Fraud Division and gave them my story, who also assured me that the package was intercepted and was being returned to me. I was so relieved.
The next afternoon, I got a call from FedEx saying that they were sorry, but the package was delivered. I said, "What? Yesterday you told me that it was on the way back to me." She kept saying how sorry she was and I should have told them that it was a fraud. I said, "I did" and was even connected to that department. So, she put me on hold, said that the item was in the truck and was trying to reach the local office and the person on the other end hung up with her three times, because she did not understand English and the FedEx representative did speak French. I said, "Do you mean to tell me that the international branch of FedEx cannot speak the language of the people they have to deal with?"
So I am out of a $9,000 Diamond ring. She said, "I am sorry and someone from our fraud division will be in touch." That was two weeks ago and not a word. And of course the escrow company turned out to be a scam also. And eBay was no help either. Someone please help. What are my options? I cannot afford this loss in this day and age.

Every single time I get packages delivered using FedEx, they come days late and every day I check the tracking status and it says "attempted delivery." I do not work outside of the home and I'm here every weekday and have a security system that shows every single person or vehicle that enters our property. On this delivery, yesterday and today, it says they attempted delivery. That is such a lie and I had 4 people working outside all day today. This never ever happens with UPS. It has happened every single delivery for FedEx. FedEx has to be the worst company in this country and it's full of dishonest drivers.

My package wasn't delivered on April 2, 2009. I checked online to track my package, and it stated that it was delivered at my door. Wrong, I was home during that time of said delivery and there was no knocking or package left. I checked my leasing office to make sure it wasn't there, and they said, "There was no FedEx delivery in yesterday." When I called FedEx Customer Relations for the second time on the morning of April 3, 2009, they said they spoke to the call center and the driver said that he remembered delivering the package at my door(?). I told them I am hundred percent sure if someone was knocking or putting a package at my door. I would have known about it since I was at home. FedEx needs to take responsibility and not take the word of the driver's stupidity over the consumer. Instead of having FedEx investigate at the center, I have to call the seller for them to do their claim and investigate with FedEx which would take five more working days.

It has been 6 weeks since I initially inquired about a $200.00 wedding gift that was delivered to the wrong address. The employee and the Kinkos/FedEx store put the wrong label on the package so it went to the wrong address. Then it took them almost 2 weeks after I brought it to their attention to return to the address to try and retrieve the package. I was told over 3 weeks ago that they would review my claim because they weren't even sure if FedEx did anything wrong at all. I've spoken to many employees, managers included and they all give ME attitude - I can't quite fathom this. What happened to customer service? I have left multiple messages and have still not heard the outcome of my case review. I've tried to speak to managers higher up and I've been told I can't. This must be their tactic in preventing lawsuits because people get so tired and frustrated with the lies and runaround. What am I supposed to do???

FedEx transferred me over several days from one person to another until we received the bill, and they said they would NOT guarantee the delivery due to bad weather and will not notify the client because they do not have the time to call everyone! They will not reimburse the $62.37 because of bad weather. The package was expected to be there for an early meeting.

Last Wednesday, February 11, 2009, I was concerned that a FedEx pickup for the painting would cause the painting to be left outside in the extremely cold temperatures, since I was working all week away from home. Sending it with FedEx on Saturday would have been perfect, since my husband was at home all day. Friday night, I made a bar code GND slip with FedEx. I set up an account on the internet, typed in a visa number paying for the pickup on the internet. FedEx doesn't pick up from my area on Saturdays! Monday was a holiday. So, all day Tuesday, the painting went in and out of my house, hot, cold, hot, cold. Finally, I called and a FedEx rep 'Angela' who said my account had a hold on it.
Nobody knows why there was a 'hold' on my account. FedEx doesn't pickup parcels if there is a 'hold' on the account. Angela assured me that she would arrange for a pickup right away, the next day Wednesday, between 2 pm and 4 pm. She insisted that I use the original bar code weigh slip GND for the Express pick up. I gave her my visa number over the phone. So I managed to go home briefly on Wednesday at 3 pm to find a FedEx note stuck to my door, beside the parcel. The FedEx express pickup does not accept GND items! I phoned Andrea at FedEx and explained the frustration. She assured me that if I took the box to my dental office where I work, FedEx would come to pick it up between 4 pm and 6 pm. Andrea told me twice to give the driver my visa number.
The FedEx driver arrived at 6 pm. He had a note from FedEx which said only cash could be accepted for the pickup. I actually had $40 cash but the driver could not give me the $10 change. So the parcel will now be picked up today, by a different courier company, Thursday February 19, 2009. It should arrive tomorrow. I have sent a complaint to FedEx. I would have been a new customer, but if these shenanigans take place just to have a parcel pickup, do they maybe play hockey with the parcels for the encore? Sorry for the extended delay.

FedEx stated they would not ship to a post office box. I asked them to put it in the mail so I could get the package, gave them 2 different addresses, gave them options, and 6 days later - still no package.

We ordered a gift that was to be delivered Thursday, Feb. 5. On that day, we received a phone call from someone at the Bakersfield office saying the package missed the truck and could we drive to Bakersfield (1 hour and 30 minutes) to get it. After informing the person we could not, they said it would be delivered the next day, Friday. We stayed home all day waiting, no delivery. Left for dinner after 5pm, came home and saw tracks at the gate - no note, no package, no phone call. We call first thing Saturday morning to inquire and the package is lost at this point. I get 4 people, all with different excuses.
Finally, the secretary says the driver has the package on his truck and would be delivering it. I ask for an approx. delivery time. She said they don't give delivery times. So... we wait all day??? We are still waiting. We have things to do other than wait on a Saturday for an overdue package/gift, with no recourse. It will be UPS from this day forward. We have never had a problem with their company. If the package is not delivered today, I need a number to call instead of venting here on an internet site.

I used FedEx through a local Kinko's to ship a package on 1/7/09. Apparently, the employee at the counter found the name of the person I was shipping to in his computer and printed the label for the package but never verified that the address in the system was the same as what I had filled out on the form. The package was then shipped to this incorrect address. I hadn't known the wrong address was used since the employee never read anything back to me so when the package hadn't been received by the party the following week on 1/14/09, I contacted FedEx by dialing 1800gofedex. They verified that the package was delivered to this incorrect address on the 10th. I told the person that that was not the address that I had sent the package to and the employee supposedly set something up for the driver to return to this incorrect address and get the package back.
On the 17th, I called again to follow up and was told nobody ever went to the address and they would put in an urgent request that the driver return on Monday, the 19th. They told me it could not be done on the weekend. They also told me I'd be contacted once they got the package back. Wednesday, the 21st, rolled around and I hadn't heard so I called AGAIN to follow up. Again, I was told nobody had been sent to retrieve the package. At this point, I asked to be transferred to a person higher up. I was now put in touch with Cindy ** of the Cincinnati CAT. I was told the driver could not go to the house that day but he would for certain tomorrow and she personally would be contacting me. This was done and she also was the one to inform the Kinko's in which the initial negligent error was made.
When the driver finally returned to the address on the 22nd, the residents claimed they never received a package. Cindy contacted me with this information and told me I should fill out a claim form and send that in with the receipt of the item that was shipped. This item was a custom made $200 wedding gift. The following day, a Bill ** called from Claims stating that they would only refund $100 and I was to send him the shipping receipt and that was that. When I began to state that I was not happy with this resolution, he became rude and basically said this was all they could do. I hung up and immediately called Cindy ** back, my only contact at this point.
I explained my conversation with Bill to her and explained that I was not happy with the resolution. She told me I could take it to a higher level if I wished and put me in contact with someone who could get me a manager (Thanks! apparently it was too much of a hassle for Bill to give me that information and he was most likely too lazy to want to deal with it so he wanted me to shut up and take what they offered). I was told then that in the request for the call from the manager, they would explain how I was not happy with the claim offer and explain my situation.
Now I was told it takes 24-48 hours to get a call back from a manager. Of course, by this time, it was Friday and so a manager would not call me until Tuesday or Wednesday. Great. On Tuesday, 1/27/09, I got a voice mail from a Marsha **, Claims manager. She apologized for the confusion of the package and said that she went ahead and authorized the claim and I'll be getting $100 back in the mail???? WHAT?? Clearly, it was NOT explained what my complaint was, as was the case every time I called. Every person I spoke with did not have the full story and when I told what really happened, the unanimous response was "Oh." Not surprisingly, Marsha did not leave a contact number.
I immediately picked up the phone and AGAIN I bothered Cindy ** and was put in touch with her co-worker because she was out. This person connected me to Marsha's voice mail where I left a message stating that I did NOT want the $100 and was NOT happy with that as a resolution and I expect to be called back so I could speak to someone in person about the situation. That was at around 2 pm Tuesday afternoon. Now, by 12:30 pm on Wednesday when I STILL had not heard from Marsha, I called 1800gofedex AGAIN where I had to be transferred AGAIN and was told Marsha was not available AGAIN but according to their record, the check was mailed and it was all set.
Now I explained that I had already left this woman a message; she should have called me back. I do not want this check and I want to talk to another manager immediately because my time is precious too and I can't wait around to take a phone call "whenever Marsha can get back to me". I was put in contact with a Hope ** who claimed to be Marsha's co-worker and she tried to tell me I would have to wait for Marsha to call me back. When I made it clear that this was not what I was willing to do seeing as I have only once out of 4 or 5 contacts been called back when they said they would, I was met with disdain and attitude. Hope then claimed that she was my only other option for a contact so I began to recap.
Trying to be patient and not start on a wrong foot, I said, "I realize this wasn't your fault but let me just tell you what has happened." To this, Hope answered in what I assume was her most professional manner, "Yeah, I know it's not MY fault." That's a great customer service response from a manager of a large global company. Hope and I went back and forth in a less than pleasant manner with her accusing me of not following through on what I was supposed to do and me getting further frustrated until we finally agreed that I would fax to her a copy of my shipping receipt and my item receipt. She said she would review it and call me on Thursday or Friday and said she couldn't tell me what to expect because she doesn't know that FedEx did anything wrong.
I stated clearly in a letter that I sent with the fax that I expect to be fully refunded for the cost of my item AND shipping due to the fact that this situation was a direct result of the company's blatant negligence from the start as well as their incompetent recovery and response to a situation. This was a completely avoidable and controllable situation if FedEx had done its part at every aspect to ensure accurate delivery of my package. I do not know what will come of this or if FedEx will give me back the money that I feel entitled to, but as of now my, interactions with multiple people on multiple levels of this company leave MUCH to be desired. Overall, my opinion is that they have been unprofessional and truly incompetent in handling problem situations. Never again will I be using FedEx especially after I've experienced firsthand how an error that THEY made is handled.

I have instructed my authorized representative in Belize, Central America to send me on an urgent basis 2 lbs of our Habanero Hot Peppers here to Aruba because we have an important client who need a long term contract for hot pepper delivery. Since I know that we have what this client need, I commit myself to have a sample delivered to him in just a couple of days, which he agreed! On January 20, 2009, my representative in Belize delivered a package containing +2 lb of Habanero Pepper to the authorized agent in Belize. The next day (January 21, 2009), the package left Belize to Miami, FL USA. Today, it is the 26 of January 2009 and nobody in FedEx USA, Belize and Aruba can tell me exactly what is going on. The FedEx agent in Belize gave us a cellular phone number to call in Miami (!) which we did call and first, it was that 'paper is missing', then that it was the weekend, then other paper is missing, etc...
Today, I called the cellular number of FedEx (!) in Miami, and a lady, absolute not in a good humor, just limited herself by telling me that “It will go out today!!!” Now in the afternoon of January 26, 2009, I decided to call FedEx Aruba to know if the package arrived, and to my bitter surprise, they told me that nothing had arrived... maybe tomorrow! (ONE WHOLE WEEK AFTER THE DATE OF SHIPMENT, TALK ABOUT EXPRESS COURIER SERVICE.) Then the lady at the FedEx in Aruba decided to 'help' me with finding out what is going on. She used the computer to communicate and after trying so many times, she told me that the system is not allowing her to get into the Miami Office, and Miami Office is blocked and she is not receiving any response!! She promised me to go check what can be done... and right now, 'the day is gone' and tomorrow, it will be a week that I have sent some fresh samples to Aruba, from Belize to Aruba via Miami, and at this point, NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHERE THE PACKAGE IS AND WHEN I WILL RECEIVE IT.
The worst part of this is that those fresh samples by now are wasted and worthless to use as a 'marketing material' with my client, Kelant **. Minutes ago, I called the office of ** and they just limited to tell me that I am joker, that I have been promised for so many days that samples are coming, and that nobody will believe me that a package from Belize to Aruba, via Miami, with FedEx courier service will take a week to be delivered (like they said, not even if it was coming from China, it will not take that long). One week and still nobody knows anything about the where and when of a package I trusted FedEx with and that they have charged me upfront $168 for a fast delivery service. If you cannot be responsible enough to deliver it, don’t accept it?!

In order to finalize a passport application, I was required to send further documentation to the passport office in Seattle, WA. I was asked to forward the documents overnight with proof of delivery and signature in order to finish my application. Because this timing was critical, I used FedEx to ship the documents. I prepared and shipped the package on Friday, 1/9/2009, and paid for Priority Overnight shipping so that the package would be at the passport office on Monday morning, 1/12/2009.
The package arrived in Seattle on Saturday (the next day) scheduled for delivery to the office on Monday. I monitored the FedEx website from 8:00 am to noon on Monday to confirm that the package had been received but all it showed was that the package was on the FedEx vehicle for delivery. At noon, I finally called the 1-800 number to find out where my package was. After several minutes on hold, I was told that someone was trying to contact the driver. I called back an hour later; again I was told they were trying to contact the driver to find out the delivery status. Finally at 3:00 pm, I was told that they were pretty sure (?) the package had been delivered but that the driver had already left for the day and I would have to wait until Tuesday to confirm delivery.
My complaint at that point was that I needed proof of delivery that day, which is why I paid for Priority Overnight shipping and that the timing of this delivery was critical because I had to contact the main passport office in Washington, DC, which is 3 hours ahead of us, to prove I had sent the required papers. I was told that a customer service advocate would contact me. A little after 4:00 pm, I called back because no customer service advocate had ever called me. At that time, I was basically told, "Too bad, there's nothing we can do"?
On Tuesday morning (1/13/2009), I again monitored the internet for proof of delivery. I called FedEx at 11:00 am to find out the status of my package. They again told me they would try to contact the driver and find out where the package was. They understood why I would be upset and a supervisor by the name of Mr. ** would contact me because of the foul-up. NO ONE EVER CALLED - EVER. At noon on Tuesday (1/13/2009), the website finally showed the package had been delivered; however, there was no signature image available. FedEx's foul-up has delayed the processing of my passport.

My company, Signal Integrity, LLC, mailed a manuscript by CD with a 2 page letter to **, Editorial Assistant, Wiley-Blackwell, 111 River Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030-5774 on Jan. 5, 2009 at a cost of $28.20. The CD was broken in transit. On Jan. 9, 2009, we mailed a replacement CD to the same address along with a 1,100 page hard copy for $14.20 and it arrived safely and on-time. The US Postal Service has delivered hundreds of Netflix CDs without any breakage in the past two years at a cost of $0.42 each.

A supplier told me that they were sending me a package which was supposed to go by FedEx Ground which is different from FedEx Air. For 28 years, we have had packages delivered to our street address at which we receive no mail. Our mailing address is a PO Box in a different community. We anticipated the FedEx package would be delivered to our street address. FedEx has a service called Smart FedEx rates and picks up packages and takes them to the postal service. Our package took two weeks to wind up at a local post office, three zip codes away from our address. It was necessary for me to drive some miles to retrieve the package. The flaw in FedEx Smart Post is that a package can't enter the FedEx system without a street address. Yet Smart Post delivers only to postal addresses. The FedEx Smart Post system is carefully calculated to render any package sent to us to have a wrong address. Colleen **, a trouble shooter for FedEx, told me the problem could be resolved if you would move and get a regular address. Why should we move just to satisfy the address peculiarities of a service which can't make effective deliveries?

After ordering an item, it was shipped by FedEx. The driver made one attempt at delivery; then the package was held for pick-up. I called FedEx to complain and 3 days later, received a phone call at 7:30 am on a Saturday. It becomes apparent that FedEx cares nothing about customer service or customer satisfaction.

A package for my daughter was shown as being delivered to my house and signed for. The only problem is that no one was home at my house on the day they say they delivered it, and to make it even more comical, whoever signed for the package didn't even get my name right. FedEx tells me that the shipper has to contact them in order for me to get a refund, but the shipper says that their investigation shows the package was delivered and that FedEx has denied the claim that I initiated with FedEx. It’s a big pass the buck situation and FedEx won't take any responsibility for their driver’s carelessness or all out fraud (whatever is the case).
I'm going to lose out on the 40 bucks I have in this, but FedEx is going to lose out on ANY business of mine in the future. I have never had an issue with UPS and I have used them many, many times. I am very disappointed in FedEx's efforts to help me out. My town is so small (180 people) that all I need is to talk to the driver that delivered the package and find out whose house he let sign for the package and I'll take it from there, but they won’t do that.

I purchased a gift from Boudin Bakery in San Francisco, to be delivered 600 miles up the coast in Oregon. It was shipped on Dec. 22 using FedEx 2-Day shipping. The weather has been terrible in Oregon, so I wasn't really surprised when the package didn't make it on the 24th. However, when it was still on a truck coming from Sacramento on the 26th and didn't get delivered until the evening of the 29th, then I was upset. I contacted FedEx... they could care less, especially since I wasn't the one who actually shipped the package. They told me that Boudin Bakery would have to file the complaint.
Fortunately for me, I ordered my gift from Boudin Bakery - a STELLAR company. They gave me a FULL refund (product and shipping) on the morning of the 29th even though the problem wasn't their fault. The refund was credited to my card THE NEXT DAY!!! I have encouraged Boudin Bakery to cancel their contract with FedEx and try someone else (although I know that even UPS isn't perfect).

I tracked the package on Friday, Dec. 26 and was told it was in Washington and would be scheduled for delivery on Saturday. This did not happen. I contacted FedEx on Monday, the 29th, and was told the package was in a warehouse that was closed on Sunday and Monday and the anticipated delivery would be on Tuesday, the 30th. My friend stayed home all day (didn't run planned errands) to be there. By 8 pm, there was no package.
I contacted FedEx the next morning and was informed an attempt was made. I stated that this was a lie, that my friend had been home all day. I was then informed that she must not have seen the delivery van pull up or heard them. I stated that this was a lie as well; she has a small dog who barks whenever a car pulls into the driveway. Today is January 3, 2009. I have contacted FedEx every day. I first get the runaround that the delay is due to weather. When I point out that it has not snowed since Christmas, I then get the "But some streets are still blocked." I then respond that this is not the case on the street where my friend lives. I then get the, "Well, the package has been placed on the truck for delivery tomorrow," to which I then respond that the tracking online states it has been on the truck since Dec. 29th. I ask to speak to a manager and am told they are all taking calls. I have conference-called FedEx with my friend from WA on the line and they are still trying to blame the weather. DO NOT USE FEDEX.

That part of the website is very sensitive and to my frustration, I spent 2.5 hours continuously getting "Error" messages...even with FedEx's Tech Support helping me on the phone.

The Wii Fit is a very popular item and is sold out everywhere. The system sells online for around $180.00, which is also hard to find. At this point, the representative told me that she will email a claim form to fill out and that in the meantime she would put on record that I rather have the package located. I had asked her if it was okay to call back again the next business day just to see if there was a response on the traces and she said it would fine, except the San Leandro facility is not open on Sunday or Monday, and that I would have to call back on Tuesday.
When I had contacted FedEx on Monday June 23rd, I was told that there was a claim already file and that there was no information available for me. I was informed that the item was lost and that I also had to submit the remaining backups for my claim. I asked the representative to let me know if the San Leandro facility responded back to them and was told that she cannot provide me with any additional information and that the only alternative is to file a claim. The person was very rude and did not offer any assistance. All she kept repeating was did I submit my claim information yet. I was not aware that I need to submit a claim immediately and was only trying to see if there was any good news for me. I was not treated with any respect and felt that the person should have been more considerate as I was only trying to get some information about my package that was lost.
The next day, I printed the claim form that was sent to me and had contact FedEx again to see if I can get some assistance in completing the form, as this was my first time filing a claim. I was transferred to the Ground Claims Dept. and was left with an automated answering system that eventually disconnected me because I did not know an extension. I called again and this time the representative that had transferred me was kind enough to make sure that there was an actual person on the other line that can assist me.
Unfortunately, the person who I was transferred to, named Hermanie, was not helpful and was not customer friendly. The answers I got from the represent were questions that made me feel dumb. Below are some examples of the answers I got from the FedEx representative: Shipper: What does the control number represent? Where do I get that? FedEx Rep: What was on your shipment form? Did you not get one? Shipper: Is it okay to leave certain information blank if I dont know what it is for? Is this section ok to leave blank? FedEx Rep: Just complete what pertains to you? Does that pertain to you? The representative also started sighing when I had brought up a question. I was very uncomfortable asking for any further assistance and finally just completed what I can.
On, June 24th I had faxed in my claim form and requested that a representative contact me to confirm that they had received it. I did not receive call. On June 27th I went ahead and emailed the claim form in hoping that someone would contact me to make sure that my claim was received. Still I have not received a reply.
I had called again on July 3 to see if I can get an update and was told that the case was still pending. The representative had notify me that Hermanie would be the one handling my case and that I would have to speak to her. I was transferred but was only able to leave a message. Since then, I have not received a call or an email regarding my lost package. I am very disappointed with how FedEx had handle my lost package and am writing to Consumer Affairs to bring this to their attention, as well as informing my colleges of my unpleasant experience. I sure hope that this does not happen to other customers who has their package misplaced by FedEx.
I have to spend a large portion of my time searching for another Wii Fit for my sister, which is sold out in every store that I have looked.

Fed Ex Ground has done it again, it seems. What a pathetic delivery service this place has turned out to be. Yesterday, I waited all day at the delivery location listed on the package to be delivered and it never came. Upon researching the tracking of said package on the FedEx website, it stated that it was attempted and unable to be dropped at it's intended location.
So, I called for a little information. Little did I know, this is futile at best. They could take a lesson OR TEN from UPS. They proceeded to tell me that the package would be attempted again the following day, today, and that it would be sometime between 8 am and 8 pm. Fine ... I was at the location to be delivered at 7:30 am this morning.
Long story short, after waiting all day and not seeing anything even resembling a delivery truck enter the parking lot, my fiance tracked the package again online. Same message. Unable to be delivered and attempted at 4:30 pm. This after I had been there doing nothing but watching for a truck to come, any sort of delivery vehicle mind you, for the entire day. Well, in a bit of anger (or more), I travelled to the hub that it came from .... BOTH TIMES. That site is much like a prison with security everywhere and no access for anyone. No response from the buzzer outside the isolation gates. How does a company in this day and age function like this? I know that I'll never use FedEx again and I'll make sure that noone else I know does either. I work in the mail/delivery service industry and I will definitely use this little tidbit of information as a means to personally discredit FedEx and the poor service it attempts to provide.
This package will be sent back to it's original place of shipment and then have to be re-shipped. It's contents are somewhat fragile and I assume this is only the beginnings of my nightmare because of this.

I was sent a very important package containing visa information. I tracked the status of the package from NY, to Memphis, onto Paris and finally Johannesburg, South Africa. I was quite impressed. But, once it got here, is when I experienced a very slack, non caring attitude by 5 different phone operators. The day the package was estimated to arrive, I phoned 1 operator to find out where it was. It hadn't left JHB yet, but would be coming the next day. I was under pressure because the day after I had my visa interview at the U.S consulate, and it takes weeks to get an interview session there. The next day, I and my parents phoned and got a hold of another 4 operators. Each one said sorry, it's already at our third party. We don't have a contact number, and we cannot help you.
Excuse me! This is a courier service, who don't know where my package is, and are too damn lazy to find our where it went, or to try and help me out. I stressed my situation to them, and they said they were unable to help. Eventually, I phoned at 16:30 again, got a hold of Michelle, and the first thing she said when I explained my situation was: Well I must get a hold of the third party guys right away. This is what I'd been waiting to hear all day! Within 5 mins, I had been put on a 3 way conference call with Sonja in Bethal (2 towns away from me, 4 hours worth of driving, there and back). She said the guys driving the truck didn't know where the package had to go, so they just dumped it there and left. They didn't bother to call (I found out afterwards that they didn't have a contact number for me, but none of the operators bothered to state that fact either) and went back to JHB. Sonja offered to get it delivered the next day.
I said I had to be at the interview the next morning, so I had to drive all the way to Bethal, on some of the worst roads in the country with our Land Rover, nearing colliding with a lot of traffic because of the bad state of the roads. I then gratefully picked up the package from Sonja, before having to drive all the way to JHB, eventually arriving at about 10pm.

When I have attempted to call the Federal Express customer contact center, they are anything but helpful. They usually tell me I have called the wrong number, even though I am dialing the exact phone number printed on the trailer. When I am finally able to get a customer service agent from Federal Express to take down my complaint, I have requested someone call me back to acknowledge receipt of my call, but not once have I received a return call.
Several weeks ago, I wrote to the President of Federal Express about these same issues. One of his assistants did call me, but the individual was anything but cordial, acknowledged receipt of the letter, and then terminated the call without even saying goodbye. Many tractor-trailer trucks weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, which is 25 times as much as the average passenger car. They take much longer to stop and are more susceptible to high winds. Most of the Federal Express tractor-trailer fleet consists of double-trailers which are heavier, harder to stop, and more dangerous in high winds or wet roads. From the drivers seat of my car, it appears to me that Federal Express is not interested in operating their fleet of tractor-trailers safely. Perhaps a letter from your office will persuade them to take highway safety more seriously. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

On January 17, 2008 two packages from Gadspot (shipper, California) were to be received at my residential location. According to FedEx tracking website, package one was delivered at 11:56 AM and accepted by my wife, the other alleged delivered package was delivered at 9:07 AM and accepted by SCHASSAGNE?, a person unknown to us. (There are only two persons living where we live: myself and my wife.) While one of the packages was received in good order at 11:56 AM, the other allegedly received at 9:07 is nowhere to be found. Both my wife and I were home at 9:07 on January 17, 2008. FedEx did not show up at our house until 11:56 AM to deliver the other package. The FedEx documented fact (tracking) that the driver WAS AT MY HOME AT 11:56 AM on January 17, 2008 delivering the one package is strong evidence that the driver was not at my home at 9:07 AM on that day to deliver the other package, as FedEx claims (unless FedEx uses poor delivery route management).
I, in fact believe, that if they investigate, they will probably find out that the driver was not in my geographic area at 9:07 AM on that day. (That should be very simple, all they need to do is look at the delivery addresses slightly before and slightly after 9:07 AM on January 17, 2008.)
FedEx declined my claim since the package was delivered to someone. I lost $320. Paypal, which I used to pay for the product, also refuses to refund me because the seller has proof of delivery. As far as I know, the driver could be enjoying my purchase.... Very unfair....

At least 3 times the persons I spoke with assured me the driver would contact me and come to my house. That never happened as a result of these calls.
On February 8th I got ahold of John again, after trying 3 times. He informed me that the loss was the responsibility of Corbeau, the shipper. My logic that the seat was shown by the tracking record to have been in the possession of the Stockton depot and the temp driver had no effect. He was adamant that the shipper was at fault because he didn't insure it! From what I read in other letters in this section, FedEx's liability is limited to $100!

I purchased a movie poster from a somewhat large business located in Canada. This business only ships with FedEx, and I never had a problem until now. I bought a poster that was shipped on the 24th of January for $44 after shipping. I checked the status on my package and realized that it was stuck at the local FedEx facility, since the 26th of January. I called up FedEx and they did keep in touch with me throughout this ordeal. I just got off the phone with them today; February 4, 2008, and they just told me that they lost the package. All they told me was that I can file a claim and get my money back. The product I bought was a movie poster that was $44 at the time of my purchase, and now it is worth $125. I assume that someone from FedEx stole my product, since they track all packages. I guess they do not do background checks on their employees.
They should pay me back my cost, or give me the same product that I purchased, instead of filing a claim. This is unacceptable.

We shipped a room divider screen that weighed 80 lbs. to Florida. We wrapped it in plastic double thick and then shrink-wrapped it. Then we constructed a box to fit it from 2 UHAUL thick wardrobe boxes. Lastly it taped shut with strapping tape. We insured it for $1000. When it arrived in Florida there was little damage to the outside of the box but the wood was dented in 4 places - 2 on each side of the screen-which seemed to match up with the forks on the fork lift.
Clearly FedEx dropped it from a high distance on the fork lifts more than once. When we filed a complaint they first tried to blame the sender to the recipient and vs versa. When that did not work (we were both sender and recipient), they said we did not pack it well. I asked for details, and I was told that by definition, if it is damaged, I did not pack it correctly. Everyone should be aware of this policy. The screen cannot be repaired, according to a furniture repair person who came to look at it. We are out a $1000 piece of furniture.

I shipped a $5,000.00 Martin guitar from Texas to Tennessee. It got mis-shipped from Texas to Miami, Florida, 75 degree weather. Next day, it shipped to Nashville Tennessee, 14 degree weather. The cold and hot, humid/dry change caused a split in face of guitar. The weather extremes caused a humidity change, and the cold weather, to hot, back to cold, caused the nitro-lacquer to split from dryness, cold, and extreme heat. This is a common problem when shipped to a humid place, then a dry place. FedExx admitted shipping to humid Miami, and changed the delivery location and date by a full day, enough to do the damage. I had the delivery driver stay here while I opened the excellently packed box (he had to assist me in opening it), and he saw the damage immediately. The sender and I both have pictures of the guitar prior to it's leaving Texas. It was perfect.
This previously MINT Martin 1986 HD-28 Brazilian guitar is one of 47 ever built. It is a rare guitar. It will never be the same. The guitar was insured by the sender for $3,750.00 as he did not know the actual value ( I am a collector), but we still have not received an answer from FedEx. The repair will cost in the neighborhood of $800.00 to make it sound, but the crack will never disappear. This guitar was worth $5K, but has lost at least $1,000.00 in value, even with the expert repairs to be made by a Martin Guitar authorized repairman. The damage will always be a negative with a Mint guitar's resale value.

FedEx Ground lost a huge bicycle transport case that was quite pricey. After making no attempt to contact me or update me on the status, they finally admitted it needed to be filed as a claim. They at first told me to located ads or websites showing the item, as I had no idea where the receipt was. I did that within a day. Two weeks later they told me that wasn't good enough; I needed to locate the original invoice. It took me the better part of the weekend, but I did that as well. One week or two later I got a check for $100, even with documentation of nearly $600 loss. They take no responsibility for getting their products shipped. This case was huge, 3 feet high, nearly 4 feet wide. It had to be an inside job.
Besides the time to locate documents and be kept on hold waiting for claims, I am out nearly $500. There was no bike inside the case, and nothing that could have gotten destroyed. Now it will be time in Small Claims Court and to consumer sites warning them of this horrendous service.

My factory got a shipment from Jordan through FedEx. It is now 9 days and still waiting to release the shipment but unfortunately nobody is caring. Nobody answers the phone from 9 am to 1 pm. After calling the customer support, they informed me I should call the customs department. I said nobody answers the phone calls and they said we will leave a memo and they will call you back. Many promises and nobody has tried to reach me.
I have contacted all the employees in the custom's department (Dalia, Hani amin, Mohamed Hafez) informing them these are raw materials and will be go through manufacture process for export to Russia and this should be done as soon as possible, but nobody is interested. They only say I will get it tomorrow. I went to the FedEx office in Cairo yesterday and met the Customs manager, Mr. Khairy Farag, who apologized and said tomorrow. I am very disapointed from this very bad service and will inform my clients(I do export my products to 15 countries worldwide) don't ever use Fedex as courier in Egypt.

I purchased a very expensive Blackberry mobile phone and a holder for the phone totaling $319.98. The package was shipped from AT&T in Texas to my address in New York City via Fedex. When I got home from work, I tracked the package, and it specified that the package was delivered to my home and left at the front door. Needless to say, there was no package at my front door. After numerous phone calls, some representative (she refused to give me her name despite my pleas for it) called me and stated that the driver delivered the package to the wrong address and that she would return to that address, retrieve the package and bring it to me. The representative then called me back 20 minutes later and assured me that the package would be delivered to me that night. I still do not have my package.
It baffles me how employees hired by a multi-millionaire dollar a year business could be so incompetent. Shipping to the wrong address appears to be habitual with FedEx drivers and not accidental or even coincidental. Three months prior to my phone being shipped to the wrong address, I was waiting for a package from FedEx; I even stayed home from work in order to receive and secure the package. I saw the FedEx truck from my window and went downstairs. The driver had driven past my address to a house 7 doors from me. I saw him as he rang that bell and leave because no one was home at that address. However, I recognized the logo on the package and flagged him down. When I approached him, I told him who I was and my address and he stated that he was sorry for going to the wrong address. If I didn't recognize the logo, that package would have been lost, or worst, if the people were home at the address he initially went to, who knows if I ever would've received my package. I do a lot of online shopping. As of today (1/14/08), I will not purchase items from online vendors if they solely shipped packages via FedEx!
As of this moment, I do not know the extent of any economic or physical damage. The primary damage is emotional and inconvenience. Because I didn't receive my phone, I am still without a mobile phone.

We sent a package Sep 12 and it was delivered to the WRONG ADDRESS! The driver was lazy or stupid. It was perishable frozen fish from our Alaska sportfishing trip. By the time we redelivered it was a total loss. I called to file a claim, and the gal said she'd have her manager call me back. SHE NEVER DID! They don't want to pay on claims! I had to call back another month later, and am still waiting for settlement.

I am not sure who is at fault, the Fed Ex delivery service or the mailroom at the apartment complex where I had it sent. I purchased a replacement battery for my laptop from Apple computers online. Apple sent it by standard Fed Ex ground service to an apartment complex where my son lives, and where my iBook laptop is waiting for me to upgrade it when I visit. The signature on the December 18, 2007 proof of delivery does not look like my son's handwriting and he has not received the battery.
This replacement battery cost me $129.00 on my credit card. The iBook laptop will not work properly without it. I will not be able to install the software upgrades I purchased for it.

When I went to fed ex there was nothing in Spanish, and there was nobody that spoke Spanish. So it was very hard for me to send something, and it was super important; I couldn't get it done because there was nothing in Spanish. I had to come the next day and get someone that spoke both Spanish and English so I could get it done. Could they please get some forms in Spanish.

I ordered a Turducken from Cajun Grocer on Sunday December 16, 2007. This was supposed to be our Christmas dinner. I selected Overnight FedEx delivery to make sure we got it on time. Our package arrived on December 20. It was opened, the dry ice was gone, and the internal packaging was opened. I called Federal Express to get an explanation as to the following: 1. Why my package spent an extra night at a FedEx facility. 2. Why it was opened. They could not or would not answer any of the questions. A manager named Mike Brown promised I would get a call with an explanation on Friday December 21, 2007. I didn't. I still have the package and high resolution photographs.
This totally ruined our Christmas dinner. Furthermore it looks like a violation of privacy and could in fact be a health hazard.

My wife mailed two mens coats from Shanghai to me. The staff in Shanghai Fedex office mislead her while filling out the shipment sheet so that the package was held by customs, I had to fill out a lot of forms to clear the package, and at last, I was so happy that the package was cleared. But Fedex delivered the package without informing me, so that I wasn't home the first time and second time. I then called fedex and made an appointment for deliver. The deliver day came and I stayed home to wait for the package. At about 8:30, a fedex driver pressed the doorbell and I went downstair from the 3rd floor, but when I opened the door, the guy had left. Then I call the fedex serveice line and a guy told me he would call the driver to come back that day. But I had waited until 6:00, and nobody appeared, so I called fedex again, they checked the door tag number and told me the driver had come back to the company. I had to walk a long distance to the fedex office to get my package. Such a terrible experience with Fedex service.

I am totally disgusted with this company. I have never dealt with so many incompetent people at the same company. My wife and I have had conversations with at least 10 different employees on different occasions in trying to either pick up the package or have it delivered. They keep putting it on the truck after I have asked them to leave it at the pickup location. But they didn't ever deliver even after my wife took Friday from work to be here all day. We were promised that it would be delivered on Friday even though it had already been attempted to be delivered on Wednesday night. We were out celebrating her birthday. Bad mistake on our part. We will see what happens this Monday, but I really needed it before the weekend if at all possible. They were all pathetic, incompetent and clueless. Every different person gave us totally different and conflicting information and then could not perform any simple requests. I will never use their service ever again for any type of delivery.
The much needed printer for the computer will probably arrive almost a week later than it should have.

We took a memory box to the local FedEx Kinko's (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) to have it professionally packed and shipped to Chicago. We paid extra for insurance, special handling and to indicate the package contained fragile artwork. The box arrived damaged, and the contents looked as if the box had been drop- kicked across the country. We filed a damage claim and included estimates for repairs in Chicago. FedEx picked up the box for inspections, confirmed the damage and issued a check, then shipped it back to California--I would guess by kicking and dragging it behind the truck and further damaging the contents. Then, to top it all off, their 'customer service' rep was rude and abusive when my daughter called to inquire as to the whereabouts of the package.
The initial $250 estimate for repairs would have covered the damage done in the trip from California to Chicago. We will be out another $100 or so for the additional damage done when FedEx re-shipped the package across country.
